Butterfly

I managed to grab a few minutes to myself this morning and decided to make a few cards. I sometimes try too hard putting my cards together and am never fully satisfied with how they end up. Today, I tried to think less about what I was creating and just go with the flow.

So here is one of the cards that I put together this morning...

I used one of my new Darkroom Door butterfly stamps and inked with fresh snow and stamped onto kraft cardstock. Unfortunately I decided to add some glitter after I'd cut around the image which by this time the ink had almost dried, so its not quite as sparkly as I had wanted, but I still absolutely love it!

I wanted to use some wide ribbon and chose this ivory silky crush ribbon and tied into a large bow.
